“You walk into the room With your pencil in your hand You see somebody naked And you say, “Who is that man?” You try so hard But you don’t understand Just what you’ll say When you get home Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you, Mister Jones?” #bobdylan #definitelydylan

New podcast episode on Bob Dylan’s Murder Ballads (Part 1) is out now! 🩸 When Bob Dylan began his career, murder ballads were having a bit of a moment. In this episode, we’ll look into the influence these songs had on the young artist, and how they inspired a particular subset of his own early songs. #bobdylan #murderballads #folksongs #folkmusic #podcast #musicanalysis #definitelydylan
